Mutant Mania

Win with Mutant Mania!

Disclosure: I received a few sets of these toys for free in exchange for writing a blog post. All opinions are my own. Besides, it made me look like the best mom in the world on Christmas morning.

It’s a kid’s paradise. Especially for boys.

Imagine mutant zombie wrestlers that you can build and rebuild, smash up, fight with and collect.

“Mom! This was the best Christmas present in the world!”

“I love this toy!”

“This is way better than what Santa brought us!”

That was my boys’ (6 & 8) reaction to opening a series of Mutant Mania toys on Christmas morning. Immediately, the boxes were ripped open, and the kids began to play, and haven’t stopped since!

Here are the different packages:

What the Boys Say

These toys were a HUGE HIT!

My boys immediately tore open the boxes to start playing with the toys. The 8 year old put all the pieces together and figured out how to set up the arena and build the mutants without any adult help and without reading the instructions.

I love intuitive toys!

To put the Mutants together, they connect with a long cylinder (shaped like a barbell).

The 8 year old could easily put them together. The 6 year old had a bit of trouble, as it involved a lot of fine motor skills. After a bit of practice, a lot of help, and some frustration, he is now able to do it on his own.

What the Parents Say

Although this toy involves fighting zombies, wrestling fighting, and ripping mutants apart, I’m ok with that! This is the type of play that the boys love to do, so why not give them an outlet?

This toy involves a lot of creativity. The toys do not make sounds – so the boys create their own scenarios and conversations.

The toys can be mixed and matched for hundreds of creative characters.

The only downside is that there are a lot of pieces that come with the Mutants. However, all packs come with a storage mechanism – whether it is a can, or a storage system under the arena.

Thank you to whoever thought of that!

Overall

Mutant Mania would make the perfect gift for a boy 6-10 years old on your list – whether for a birthday, Christmas, or an Easter present!

If you were to just get one of the sets, I would start with the Mutant Masher. It comes with a few Mutants included. This is the most creative of the toys. Then, start building with more packs of Mutants until you have a full arena!

Enjoy building and playing! My boys certainly did!
